I've not been keeping my copy in alioth SVN very up to date, I'll
update it once I've finished packaging KDE 3.5.3 (next couple of days)
properly but in general it's probably best to keep an eye on
edgy-changes.

I've no current plans to move to bzr (although I expect the whole of
the ubuntu archive to be moved to bzr at some point).
